Flood Team

As a Village we are very fortunate to have a Flood Team, acting as a subcommittee of the Parish Council. This team was established after the extreme flooding experienced in the village during 1998. Since then, members have worked tirelessly to reduce the effects of flooding within the village by coordinating the improved maintenance of waterways, and the introduction of additional ditches/watercourses, made possible by the securing of a number of local grants.

If you are interested in joining the Flood Team, please contact one of the members:

John Spittle, Sheila Spittle or Brian Needham.

The Team report monthly at the Parish Council meetings, and from January 2009 - you will be able to read their reports on the website - see below:
